Interest Rate Risk
The primary objectives of our investment activities are to ensure liquidity and to preserve capital. As of June 30, 2026, we had $125.4 million in cash equivalents, comprising interest bearing money market accounts, and $388.6 million in marketable securities. Our exposure to interest rate sensitivity is affected by changes in the underlying bank interest rates. We have not entered into investments for trading or speculative purposes, and our marketable securities are held to maturity. Although an immediate, one percentage point change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio due to the size of our portfolio, because held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2026, we had no debt outstanding that is subject to interest rate variability. Therefore, we are not subject to interest rate risk related to debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our employees and our operations are currently predominantly located in the United States and our expenses are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we do use research and development vendors outside of the United States. As such, our expenses are denominated in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate that was in effect when the asset or liability was initially recognized. Expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the applicable period. Our operations are, and will continue to be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we have not had a formal hedging program with respect to foreign currency. We do not believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in exchange rates during any of the periods presented would have had a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
Inflation Risk
We are also exposed to inflation risk and inflationary factors, such as increases in service, material, and overhead costs, which could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or operating results to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition, or on our financial statements.
